Juan is studying fossils. His teacher wrote the following statements on the board and asked the students to put them in the correct order to describe how fossils are formed. 1. Minerals seep into the organism’s body and replace it with stone. 2. The
Fossils show change over time as species evolve.

The continents that are now separated by the Atlantic Ocean once formed a single landmass.
1,2 and 3

A geologist is studying three layers of sedimentary rock in an area. The layers have not shifted from their original positions. The geologist records the relative ages of the rocks. The bottom layer is listed as the oldest. The top layer is listed as
